Not good news here either...:

My results are back HCG was 172 at 21 DPO but they were at 93 at 10 dpo. so they haven't even doubled in 1 1/2 weeks. My prog. is only 12. I am going off the progesterone and now just have to wait for the m/c.

Sorry about the copy and pasting of this on the other threads. I just don't want to re-type this over and over...

Well, my RE just upped my prog. to 200 mg 3x a day!! :

I had my first u/s yesterday and afterwards the RE wanted a prog. check just to make sure (I was taking prog. supplements 2x a day already) and my levels came back at 19. So the RE says that that is a fine level, but just to be on the safe side, he wants me on it 3x a day.

Luckily I don't have any side effects (I take them vaginally, not orally) so it's not really a big deal - other than the cost since insurance doesn't cover it, but what can ya do...

Your dosage has almost caught up to mine! I'm on the suppositories, 400mg, 2x a day.
I have my u/s tomorrow. I'm getting kind of anxious. I do have pregnancy symptoms, but now i wonder if that could be from the progesterone? I am the queen of making myself crazy. Hopefully all goes well tomorrow.

Hi,

Can I join your little group? We had been TTC for 9 months, went in for an evaluation and I was diagnosed with a luteal phase defect. Doc put me on Provera to start a period and during that time I got pregnant! So I'm off the Provera and am now taking 200 mg. Prometrium once a day for 8 wks. Does this sound like a standard dosage? So far no side effects other than awful and disgusting night sweats (my husband actually wrapped me in a towel in the middle of the night last night because he couldn't stand it).

I am still very nervous about the possibility of a m/c, but there's not a lot I can do to prevent it.

Look forward to getting to know all of you.

progesterone issues too

Hi all,

I am hardly ever on here, but now is the time! I am on progesterone 100mg capsule, and i am 5 weeks pg. (sorry, don't know all the lingo) I had 2 m/c's the 1st at 1 week in July 06 and the next at 2 weeks in August 06. I have been taking the progesterone for a little over a week now. I really hate taking drugs of any kind and i think this prog. is making me feel horrible. I am really depressed, i dont even want to go to the store to get food! I am tired and bored, and just this morning my lower back ached, like both sides, the back of my leg aches even my arms ache, i feel really weak. Is that even a side effect? My naturopath (who put me on prog.) cant get me in until february 5th, is that crazy! I don't know if I can last until 12 weeks or whatever it is. Does anyone know of anything helpful so i can stop thinking i might die? I know I am being dramatic, i apologize. Does anyone else wonder why it can't just be NORMAL!! btw, i have 2 great girls age 6 and 4. Thanks for any help!

Just a quick question for you girls who have been on prog for a while. Dh & I have been ttc for 6 yrs (we also have a 10 yr old son) Anyhow, We have found out that I do not have a high enough level of prog to sustain a preg. I take 100mg vaginally from O till af comes every cycle & have been very fortunate not have any side effects. The only diff. I have noticed is that my seasonal depression has not returned this winter. My question is this... I am in my tww, 8 dpo & when I went to go to bed (which is when I take the prog.) I thought I had an second box in the back of the fridge but did not, so now I can't sleep thinking of wether or not one night without it could cause harm to a potential preg right now? I feel horrible that I wouldn't have paid more attention. I do have some prog. cream so I'm gonna slather some of that on but does anyone know if I am preg how likely is missing one day of the prog to cause problems? We have suffered 3 m/c's already & I would hate to think that because of my absent mind another could happen. Or am I just being crazy?

Also, does anyone else's prog suppositories need to be kept in the fridge?

jessx,
sorry, i don't know if skipping one night would matter or not. it's good you have progesterone cream as a backup. yes, my suppositories need to be kept in the fridge, and it also says "do not freeze" (our fridge has cold spots, and even though it's turned as warm as it can go, stuff still freezes: . I've started putting my box of suppositories in an empty egg carton to try and insulate them a little more.)

jadetree,
are you taking the progesterone orally or vaginally? for me, taking it orally causes more side effects - mostly dizzy, out-of-my-head type feelings. I've had a hard time finding information on other side effects.
